A Soldier's Prayer
The soldie...Thanks capper.<br /><br />A Soldier's Prayer<br /><br />The soldier stood and faced his God Which must always come to pass...<br />He hoped his shoes were shining Just as brightly as his brass.<br />"Step forward now, you soldier, How shall I deal with you?<br />Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?"<br />The soldier squared his shoulders and Said,"No, Lord, I guess I ain't...<br />Because those of us who carry guns Can't always be a saint.<br />I've had to work most Sundays And at times my talk was tough,<br />And sometimes I've been violent, Because the streets are awfully tough.<br />But, I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep...<br />Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just too steep,<br />And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear,<br />And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears.<br />I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here...<br />They never wanted me around Except to calm their fears.<br />If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand,<br />I never expected or had too much, But if you don't, I'll understand."<br />There was a silence all around the throne Where the saints had often trod...<br />As the soldier waited quietly, For the judgment of his God,<br />"Step forward now you soldier,<br />Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,<br />You've done your time in Hell."John Caspernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-89970051909184383782011-05-28T13:56:01.801-05:002011-05-28T13:56:01.801-05:00No, what is disgusting is the hypocritical flag-wa...No, what is disgusting is the hypocritical flag-wavers who claim to be patriotic but then turn a blind eye to the unforgivable assaults on the very things those men and women died for. <br /><br />If you don't like the fact that I'm pissed as hell at the double-speaking fools, I'm sorry, but these are my feelings on the matter and I will continue to call BS where I see it.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-53859923367316573602011-05-28T13:51:28.539-05:002011-05-28T13:51:28.539-05:00I have held my peace long enough.
You are disgust...I have held my peace long enough.<br /><br />You are disgusting.<br /><br />To cheapen the sacrifice of brave men and women who shed their blood and gave their lives, on soil foreign and domestic, to try to score cheap political points is absolutely unbelievable. To use them as pawns because you disagree with those in power is unconscionable.<br /><br />Post this, delete it, mark it as spam, I don't care. I've said my piece, and I'm done.Coophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02420350451489519396noreply@blogger.com
